There's a show you'll soon be longing to see…

WARREN TWP. Take 60 talented, energetic young people. Take the
music of America's two best-known and beloved composers, that
fabulous brother team of Ira and George Gershwin.

Put them together in a flaky plot written by Ken
Ludwig.

What have you got? "Crazy for You," a light-hearted and
melodious musical that 's been on American stages since
1992.

"Crazy for You" is the ambitious undertaking which will be
presented as the sp ring offering of Script & Cue, Watchung
Hills Regional High School's drama club. The plot, which is
minimal, serves as a vehicle for some of America's most hummable
popular standards, such as "I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You,"
"Someone to Watch Over Me" and "They Can't Take That Away from
Me."

And it's because of these numerous song-and-dance routines that
"Crazy for You' ' turns out to be such a challenge involving 30
cast members who both sing and tap dance, 20 musicians in the pit
band, and 10 technical crew members.

Chief cast members, who have lines as well as singing and
dancing parts, include Eric Schneider as Bobby Child, Missy Boiseau
as Polly Baker, Cristy Chory as Irene Roth, Brendan Boylan as Lank
Hawkins and Aaron Killian as Bela Zanger. The plot takes them from
the "Great White Way" of New York in the 1920s to an out-o
f-the-way Midwest town.

Jana Knost, member of the English department, is the overall
director of the play. Matthew Koller, teacher at Long Hill's
Central Middle School, is the music director, with David Lifson as
student music director. Technical director is Daniel
Luna.

Showtimes are April 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., with a 3 p.m.
matinee Saturday, April 28 for senior citizens and children. Adult
tickets are $10; students and faculty, $7. Tickets may be purchased
at the door at the school, 108 Stirling Road.

Looks like you'd be crazy to miss "Crazy for You."

In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor.
